Given the mass destruction we are currently imposing on our environment fueled by a materialistic understanding of our world and a subsequent decay of moral character (akhlaaq), now more than ever, we need to stop, reflect, and change our ways.

This has caused the study of the environment and science in general to further people from the Divine and live in unbalanced ways; when indeed a proper study of the environment and science should do the exact opposite.
This series hopes to help Muslims of all ages realign their souls and minds to perceive the environment and science as they truly are.
